Recent reviews of Memory Care in Fontanelle, IA
Arbor Springs in West Des Moines, IA
5.0

My loved one had been at this facility for quite a while, and they did an excellent job looking after her. The care they provided here was very good, and the staff were all friendly and professional. The care provided here was a bit more than what she ended up needing and so we looked into other communities, but overall they did a great job.

I have heard they are hiring a 2nd nurse so there is one on nights and weekends. That has inhibited a few things when care was required. Not a lot of activities getting them out of the facility. The bus had been broken. Even a bus ride around time would be nice. The staff are wonderful in the memory care unit. The presentation and atmosphere in the building are first class.
